Anthony Bourdain “Get Jiro” Puts Vegans In Sushi Crime World

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 27th, 2012 in Books, Chefs, Food & Drink.

Get Jiro Anthoony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain has teamed up with novelist Joel Rose and illustrator Langdon Foss to create a graphic comic that tells the story of sushi chefs gone bad.

If the idea of those who chop seaweed and tofu being violent crime lords makes you laugh, you will roll on the floor after reading this line from the publisher’s description.

“In a not-too-distant future L.A. where master chefs rule the town like crime lords and people literally kill for a seat at the best restaurants, a bloody culinary war is raging.”

Get Jiro pits two teams, The Internationalists–known for preparing foods from all over the world, against Vertical Farm–a team of chefs who only prepare vegetarian, macrobiotic dishes.

Since Bourdain is known for his animosity towards vegetarians, Get Jiro is sure to piss them off, especially given the fact that Jiro is a “ruthless sushi chef” known to “decapitate patrons who dare request a California Roll, or who stir wasabi into their soy sauce.”

“Real Housewives” Vicki Gunvalson Tosses Out Real Fur

Real Housewives Orange County

Vicki Gunvalson may have a lot of issues to bicker about with her friends on the Real Housewives of Orange County, but which fur to wear to the party later in the evening isn’t one of them.

Gunvalson has sworn off fur after being contacted by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and learning what goes on in the fur industry.

Anyone who watches reality TV knows the roles of women have changed significantly, and ladies do more than prepare dinner for the husbands in between make-up and hair touches. And actresses today don’t look glamorous at all wearing something from a dead animal.

“Growing up in the sixties and seventies, women I looked up to were stars of television and films, they were beautiful, glamorous and successful,” writes Gunvalson in statement. “Successful women role models were really just emerging for young women of my generation; it was a simpler time but full of exciting change. There were dreams every girl aspired to.”
